My Intuition is telling me this years garden is lacking something. Regardless of the weather, I don’t understand why the eggplants aren’t growing faster, last year I had way more already around this time and it wasn’t looking so sad… so yellow. It hasn’t been the sunniest Esther consistent. I wish I knew of others in the area if they all have these issues. Now I’m back to work I also can’t give it as much attention but I haven’t done more than a few days without checking on it. CMON!!!!!! It’s so much work

Not as many zucchini’s this year and my peppers?? 🌶🫑 FUCK ME I’ve only gotten a handful and the plants are bare and leaves are looking diseased. Same for the patio tomato plants, there’s a bunch of diseased leaves I keep cutting off but some of the fruit are looking ripe and have black creases in them which could represent root rot too. I dk, not getting right and my expectations are letting me down.

🌞n the bright side I have harvested a lot of yellow squash and zucchini for the most part. My first eggplant that started growing ended up falling off the stem I found it today and it brought me sadness not gonna lie 🍆 tomatoes are taking so long 🍅

I’m getting discouraged but there’s probably one good month left⏳

Gardening Is an Instrument of Grace

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace. —May Sarton
